Come on guys, a board member is asking for help and all you have to do is fulfill every gearheads dream. There HAS to be more people in/near his area.

Step up guys!

What??? Are you kidding me? Cherub your truck is sweet. You're the reason I'm having to look for a different color now. Can't have 2 trucks looking identical. BTW, I followed your thread on ls1truck also.

I totally agree w/you there Dennis. I saw in a magazine awhile back that Hills built that yellow/white truck for $25 and they really didn't do much to it as far as customizing it. I think there are lots of people that can do better in their garage for under $25k. I know that's my plan.

It seemed they featured their own trucks in more stories than anyone else's....

So I guess you might have to work at the magazine to have a better chance of getting your truck in there!

You would think that the publishers would have the formula down by now....I might not spend $100,000 on my truck build, but the hobby-truck builders are what makes the market for many garages, SEMA members, all the on-line truck accessory businesses and even the magazines.

So, feature some of our trucks for inspiration (like the fellow here starting the thread is asking for), feature some high-dollar builds for ideas, feature a 1-page shot of a truck with good-looking girl that doesn't look like she is on crack or hooking, and I would pretty much subscribe.

(PS. Best put-together truck magazine issue ever: Sport Truck February 2004)

You took the words right out of my mouth, I haven't subscribed back to Streettrucks Mag for the same exact reasons.

Focus guys! lol

Bump for John

My truck has never been inside my garage; I did the whole restoration in the driveway...
